During our eight days of this tour, the fourth day is when we will have the most dirt roads, so today will be the toughest and most challenging. Fine weather will make our journey much easier as some 90 km out of the total 135 km is dirt road.
Though challenging and nerve-racking, sometimes, the journey will definitely leave a strong and fond impression on you as it takes you through various tribal villages of such ethnic minority groups as Tay, Dao, H’Mong that can hardly be found if you had traveled the other way.
The dangerous and slippery road with streams, steep slopes with mud and gravel will be a common sight in this track.
We have a picnic-styled lunch on the route to Bac Yen town and continue our tour in the afternoon.
We make it to Muong La district, spend the night here and relax after an adventurous day. We highly recommend tourists to enjoy hot spring bath in Ngoc Chien hot water spring, located some 1,600 meters above the sea level, known as a major attraction for tourists in Son La province.
